Starlets Performance Good For The Under 20 Team - Najahu Issah.

Goal keepers trainer of the Black Satellites Najahu Issah has heaped praises on the current Ghana U-17 side after their monstrous performance in the just ended Independence Cup in Namibia.

The Starlets  eased their way past their opponents to lift the glamorous trophy at stake in the four nation independence tournament but Najahu Issah said the impact of the players goes beyond just winning the mini trophy.

The former Real Tamale United shot stopper revealed that performances like this from the Starlets can only improve the U-20 side, the Black Satellites team with the needed transitions.

The experienced custodian himself,  tipped the current generation of the Starlets to make a  smooth transition to the U-20 and further up the national team log.

Najahu told sportscrusader.com that,  “the U-17 team is always a pilot team for U-20, anytime that the U-17 side performs well in any major competition it is always a clear indication that automatically the U-20 will definitely perform or do well too,’ he said.

“The U-17 team cannot be separated from the U-20 team in anyway since players move up the ladder with age and experience,” he added.

On the composition of the U-20 side for the upcoming African qualifiers, the aced shot stopper said, “a very strong work from the U-17 technical team makes the work of the Satellites coaches very easy”.

“It also helps the management to start with a seed team and know exactly where to start from before scouting for more talents,” he stated.

The newly assembled U-17 side under the technical guidance of Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin hinted at returning the nation back to its glory days with their sexy football in that Namibia tournament.

The technical team toured the entire nation to scout for talents and their exercise was confirmed in Namibia when they massacred their opponents by a combined aggregate of 15-2 in the four matches they played.
